The options may be chosen on the product page FAQ's What is an Ambient Light Rejecting Screen Paint? Ambient light rejecting (ALR) screen paint is a special coating that turns any wall or surface into a high-performance projection screen that scatters ambient light and rejects light ingress from the sides. It is ideal for larger open spaces like auditoriums, conference rooms, churches or any space where controlling ambient light is challenging. It works especially well with modern short-throw and laser projectors, giving professional-quality viewing at a fraction of the cost of traditional screens. What color are ALR screens? ALR screens usually come in light grey or neutral grey. This helps reduce unwanted light while keeping the colors from your projector accurate. Smarter Surfaces ALR paint is light grey with an ultra-matte finish. How do I choose the ideal gain for my projector screen? The standard gain of 1.0 ensures uniform brightness and wide visibility. However, an ideal gain value depends on factors like ambient lighting, projector brightness, screen size, and seating arrangement. So make sure to thoroughly evaluate your environment and preferences to understand what works best for your viewing experience. Is Ambient Light Rejecting (ALR) screen paint suitable for blended projections? Yes, absolutely. ALR screen paint is perfect for creating seamless and immersive blended projections that are ideal for art installations, theaters, and large-scale presentations. Its advanced formulation ensures precise colour accuracy, even brightness, and exceptional light diffusion, thus allowing smooth transitions between projected images.By eliminating the need for bulky and costly physical screens, ALR screen paint provides a flexible and budget-friendly option for large-scale blended displays. Turn any space into a captivating canvas where multiple projections harmoniously come together to leave a lasting impression. Does ALR screen paint work with both 2D and 3D projectors? Yes, ALR screen paint is completely compatible with both 2D and 3D projectors. It delivers exceptional performance in any mode, ensuring immersive and captivating visuals. Also, when paired with 3D glasses, it perfectly maintains the intended effect, thus offering a brilliant viewing experience. What makes ALR Screen Paint polarity preserving? 3D projectors work by displaying two slightly offset images that overlap on the screen. These images are filtered through specialized optics, polarizing the light differently for each projection. When viewed through 3D glasses, each lens filters out one image, thus allowing the left eye to see one projection and the right eye to see the other, thereby creating a stereoscopic effect.For the 3D experience to remain intact, the screen must maintain the polarization of the projected light. Smarter Surfaces ALR Screen Paint is designed to preserve this polarization, ensuring that the intended 3D effect is perfectly maintained without distortion, delivering a truly immersive experience. Why are Projection Paints acoustically transparent? Acoustic transparency refers to a material's ability to allow sound waves to pass through it without significant absorption or reflection. This is measured by the Sound Absorption Coefficient (SAC) which indicates the proportion of sound energy absorbed when sound waves interact with the material.We conducted tests on a standard 12mm gypsum board, a commonly used material, to measure the SAC across different frequencies. The results for both unpainted and painted boards were identical:Unpainted Board α = 0.04-0.07 Painted Board α = 0.04-0.07These consistent results demonstrate that Smarter Surfaces Projection Paints do not alter the sound absorption properties of the surface. Whether applied on walls or boards, the paints ensure that sound quality remains unaffected, making them an excellent choice for spaces where both audio and visual performance are critical. How does ambient ight rejecting screen paint work ? This innovative Ambient Light Rejecting Projection Screen Paint uses unique pigment particle technology to scatter ambient light ingress from the horizontal plane, which protects the projected light beam by reducing light interference. What surfaces are compatible with Ambient Light Rejecting Projector Screen Paint?

Ambient Light Rejecting Projector Screen Paint – Easy DIY InstallationHow To Apply ALR Screen PaintAmbient Light Rejecting Projector Screen Paint is suitable for use on plaster, wallboards, wood, metal concrete and composites. You can use either a roller or spray to apply the ALR paint, though we recommend a roller for most applications.Step 1- Prepare the Surface: ensure that the surface is clean, dry, and free of debris before starting to apply the paint.Step 2- Measure the area you wish to paint and clearly mark it using masking tape.Step 3- Prepare the ALR Screen Paint: Thoroughly stir the paint before the application process. For attaining the best finish, use a mohair or lint-free short-pile roller sleeve to evenly distribute the paint.Step 4- Apply Ambient Light Rejecting Screen Paint:  Ensure the base is smooth and free from surface defects (lightly sand if required). If you're painting a specific area rather than an entire wall, use masking tape to define the space. Note: For bare or untreated surfaces, apply a single coat of White Primer first. Additionally, make sure to address any surface imperfections by filling any cracks or holes and sanding the area smooth with 120-grit sandpaper.Step 5- Once you’ve applied ALR Projector Screen Paint to your wall, let it dry completely for 24 hours. After the surface has cured, it’s ready to use as a projection screen. Step 6- Position your projector, align it with the painted wall, and then adjust its settings as required. For the best viewing experience, please refer to your projector’s owner’s manual to ensure proper calibration.A full application guide to help you apply Ambient Light Rejecting Paint.Watch the Step-by-Step Video Application GuideAmbient Light Rejecting Paint Videos Watch the Step-by-Step Video Application Guide Whiteboard Paint White for Education Whiteboard Paint White Case Study
